I have the Upgrade version of Windows XP Pro, and am using it to make my unattended installation disk. I have tried changing the Volume Label (WXPCCP_EN), PID (in setupp.ini), and my product registration key; all matching what I have tried to do. So far I have attemped to make both a Retail and Corporate (Volume) CD, but it still asks for a CD from a previous OS. I have an old 98SE disk that will work, but it's kind of a pain, and makes things not all that unattended. What else do I have to change in order for Setup to think that I have either a Retail or Corporate CD (I would preferably have a Corp so I don't have to activate). Thanks for the help.

Authentication is a requirement for upgrade versions.
Only solution, is to buy a full version.

What you were asking is against the rules. Please abide by them in future smile.gif

And MHz is right, you'll have to buy the full version or get a oem version with hardware from a retailer.

Sorry, I didn't know there were only illegal ways of accomplishing what I asked.

No problem, but it would be illegal as they are two seperate products smile.gif
